The story is interesting enough. A viral epidemic kills hundreds of
thousands in Glasgow (poor Glasgow – last night in the grim Red Road,
and now utter destruction), so all of Scotland is isolated behind a big wall to
keep the sickies out of England. But
England is in a bad way anyway and when the same virus strikes London thirty
years later and the powers-that-be have detected survivors in Scotland they
figure there must be a cure so they send…

You get the picture. Most of the film is extremely violent, there is a
lot of running and horse galloping (why is it that in movies everybody
knows how to just jump on a horse and gallop off?), and a ridiculous amount of
car chases. Ho hum.

What in the world is Adrian Lester doing in this movie? Or Bob Hoskins, Malcolm McDowell and all the
rest in this decent-to-excellent cast? Maybe
it looked good on paper.

They get one star because I like them. The make-up, hairdos, costumes
and glass eye were kind of cool so I’ll add another half, and the premise gets
a half.
